February 18, 1902

Inreply to your letter, I hasten to tell you that the
articles by Struve and Bulgakov appeared in theMay 1897issue ofNovoye Slovo(No. 8, according to their special
numbering).[1]

Weare very glad that you will be finishing the article
soon—please send the articles of Struve and Bulgakov
along with it.

Haveyou made any use of the articles by Vl. Chernov
in the latest issues ofRusskoye Bogatstvoon the subjective
method, Berdayev, etc.? What a good thing it would be
to devote even a few lines to giving this chatterbox
a dressing down! In No. 2 (February) ofSozialistische
Monatshefte[2]someone called Lozinsky also tries to bury
materialism and extols Berdayev.

Wehear from Vologda (where Berdayev and Bogdanov
are doing time) that the exiles there engage in earnest
discussions of philosophy, and that Berdayev, as the one
who knows most about it, appears to be “winning”.

Everygood wish,Yours....
